Some Fears Are Helpful

To Children|

Reputation Must Be Guarded Carefully Even By Youngsters.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON There are fears that are good for a child. - While it is cruel to frighten him . with threats and fantastic stories, at the same time every child should have enough normal fear to evade certain results. He has to learn, of course, that

adler digpinndhog

way, and that fire will burn him if he meddles with it. But there are other moral fears that -are just: as healthy for him to hold as physical ones One is fear of failure. We are apt

to put too high a standard at times § for the child to reach, and this is|: destructive to his happiness, but it |: is well to set a reasonable standard |: for him to achieve, and put him on |

his mettle to meet it. This is why lessons are valuable. The school child probably would slacken his efforts and let things ride at will, unless he felt the fear of others outclassing him. Another thing is his reputation. The boy or girl doesn’t live who does not wish to be well thought of by his friends. It puts them on their toes, and keeps them in line, to have to meet a daily demand for fairness and kindness. It takes more than innate nobility at times to keep up to the level of good fellowship, so it.is a better world all round, for children as well as ourselves, to be possessed of a natural dread of losing face with our friends. ‘Should the child have any fears at all in his home? Is this not one place where he can let down and not care whether he mets a standatd or not?

Respect Is Basis of ‘Home Conduct

The answer is difficult, as the . foundation of the home must be based upon love and mutual confidence and tolerance. Yet, more lax habits can be acquired in the too-

where else. The child may be jealous of his reputation with teacher and cronies, but «eel entitled to act - as he pleases with his mother. Bill may be a good boy because he loves his parents so much, but he is more than likely not to be such an angel because he knows they love him just as much, and will forgive anything he does. Bill is a boy, and human, and the chances are that if allowed, he will follow the lines of least resistance and let down at home. He has no fears. Therefore he won’t jack himself up to doing the things he ought to do. If the boy were as anxious to - please his mother as he is his teacher, or his team captain, he would feel certain fears of her. Not be afraid of her, for there is a difference. He should admire her to a point of dreading to cause her disappointment. He should be afraid of losing her faith and trust. And the boy admires more the mother who insists on his co-operation than the one who humors him too much. Let “us not call it fear, but merely a healthy respect for a pal’s opinion.

INDIANAPOLIS T

Interviewer Describes Visits With International Figures

'Rumania’s Queen Mart likes pink. Mahatma Ghandi is no “stained

glass window saint.”

en. Chiang Kai-shek is ruled by his wife.

Newspaperwoman knows. She has interviewed them all. She spoke yesterday at the Woman's Department Club meeting on “Interviewing the World by Air in Ten Weeks.” ; From prison to palace and a home-made oxcart to a plane is her story. 3 She was arrested one evening in her hotel in Spain, and questioned for 17 consecutive hours. Then she was marched across a courtyard into a whitewashed cell. She was the only woman in the prison.

- Slept on Stone

Her rat-infested cell was two paces wide, two and one-half paces long. One meal was of dry rice, the other of bread. She slept on a small stone bench.

She was bordering on delirium

when the Chicago man from the

American Embassy located her. She still doesn’t know why she was “detained.” { Within the next few days, she was

Queen Marie’s houseguest in Bu--

charest, where she went by plane. “Her Majesty had been ill since March,” said Miss Lecler, “so I interviewed her in her room. She spoke affectionately of America and its ‘energetic females.’

“She wore an apricot negligee with ropes of royal pearls At her

elbow were roses. She punctuated

reminds one of George Bernard Shaw,” she added. ‘He is more likeable than Shaw, however.” It was Ghandi’s mealtime. They

|brought him a tray of mashed

mango pulp and a “mess of something that looked like green beans.” Miss Lecler said that he offered her some, saying that it would make her sick. “I accepted,” she explained. “I was hungry. I licked my solitary spoon and hoped*he would offer me a second helping. He didn’t.” ;

Chiang’s Wife Charming

Gen. Chiang ‘Kai-shek is the most amazingly simple and direct person she has ever known. Madame Chiang Kai-shek is “charming.” Haille Selassie is not wealthy, Miss Lecler said. His home in England is simple, yet adequate, located on a small country estate. His daughter, who learned practical nursing during the ‘Ethiopian war, is a student nurse in the London Children’s Hospital.-
